Adele's Las Vegas residency could be delayed until June or even 2023 due to the singer's packed calendar, according to a new report.

The Someone Like You songstress, 33, made the decision to axe all her shows at the 11th hour on Thursday, leaving fans devastated and demanding the star cover the cost of their flights and hotels in Sin City.

And now reports claim ticket-holders could have to wait months or even a year to see the star perform due to her other commitments such as The Brits and her Hyde Park gigs in July.

Insiders told The Sun: 'There are two slots in this year's calendar, from the end of February to the start of May, and from the middle of June to the middle of September. But if they can't work then it could be 2023 by the time they're rescheduled.

'The rest of the weekend dates in the year are taken up by other acts including Sting and Rod Stewart.

'She is expected to still be a part of The Brit Awards next month and she has two headline gigs at Hyde Park on July 1 and 2.

'Adele's schedule is mammoth and it makes rescheduling a challenge but she is devoted to her fans and will do everything she can to get them back in the diary quickly.'

A representative for Adele has been contacted by MailOnline for a comment. 

Many Adele fans have demanded the singer covers the cost of their Las Vegas flights and hotels after her 'astounding' decision to axe all her shows when many were flying in or had already arrived in the entertainment capital of the world.

MailOnline has been inundated with emails from people who had already jetted in from across the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe to see the star, who is making a record-breaking $685,000 (£500,000) per gig before merchandising.  

Adele announced the decision in a tearful Instagram video, apologising and telling fans: 'I'm so upset and I'm really embarrassed. We've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and Covid. Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show'.

Tough: Adele announced on Thursday that she was cancelling all 24 of her Vegas shows. People with tickets have been told to go back to who they bought them from for refunds rather than Caesars Palace (pictured yesterday)

Fans paying between $85 and $12,000 for a ticket - or up to $30,000 on the black market - had already travelled to Las Vegas for the opening gig tonight. 

If they get tickets for replacement shows, most will be unable to go without more extraordinary expense and more time off work.

Ticketmaster are urging people to 'hang on to their tickets' for new dates but says they will give refunds if people apply online. 

But many are already in Vegas having travelled thousands of miles to be there for the opening night, demanding the singer covers the thousands of dollars they have already laid out on flights and hotel rooms they have no hope of getting refunds for.

Many are questioning her reasons for cancelling, saying they don't believe her claims that Covid and 'delivery delays' would require her to cancel all 24 nights and postpone them for months. 

Several fans said they were worried for her wellbeing, noticing a bruise-like mark on her left wrist in the video. 

Fans already in Vegas are demanding she performs anyway, saying they don't care about a glitzy stage and lighting and would be happy to see her 'perform on a park bench'. 

Some say they will turn up at Caesars Palace at 8pm tonight anyway, in the hope she might be there, although she is understood to be at home in LA. 

Gillian Rowland-Kain, 32, was already on her flight to Las Vegas from New York with her twin sister when she found out about the cancellation via social media. 

The attorney from Brooklyn said: 'I was furious that Adele waited so last minute to make this call. I recognise it's not a call any artist wants to make but she would've known yesterday that the show wouldn't be ready by tomorrow. Her lack of notice is astounding. I'm angry and frustrated'.

Thomas Wright flew from South Carolina for the opening night with a friend for the opening night. He told MailOnline that they spent $445 on each ticket, $1,600 on flights and hotel as well as $100 on Covid tests. They also spent $400 each on new outfits.

He said: 'I know I will not be able to get off of work to come back, I know I wouldn't be able to afford to come
